I think one thing the pro-Qatari lot are failing too grasp is just how sacred Man Utd is to many people (and especially the locals). The club is far more than its squad and transfer kitty. To have something that precious owned by what they consider a distasteful regime hurts.
It is analogous to religion and look how sensitive people are about that.
You don't think people who are in favour of the 'Qatari' (you might as well as call Jim's the Chemicals bid or the non-dom Conservative donor bid) have considered things like 'community' or sacrality? I can't think (beyond maybe the Blackpool ownership) off-hand, of an ownership that has already 'tarnished' or profaned a club more than the Glazers. And SJR is suggesting keeping them on (the)board. That's quite aside from his support of neo-Darwinist anti-communitarian political ideology (or political theology, if you like, using this idea of the sacred).
There are plenty of discussions to be had about the use of migrant workers in ME states, but Qatar, insofar as they're actually linked to this bid (something which Qatar watchers have already discussed and deconstructed; investment presence of individual actors in a consortium doesn't equal state control), are more (pre)distributive in their policies around Qatari citizens. Their economy, from what little I've read and like much of the ME, is more orientated towards integrated state investment and 'heterodox' (obviously it's also enmeshed with international investment funds which make money from other countries) than one focused purely upon nonholistic, completely privatized ( weightless, antisocial) interest of the kind that SJR espouses (Saudi, meanwhile, have UBI). This may not be 'socialism' or even social democracy, but is one of many alternative models in the world - whether you agree with them or not, and whether you call some of them corporatist or aristocratic/neofeudal or restrictive like China - which people are turning to in terms of demanding that states invest in the flourishing of regions and countris using natural resource-dividends (i.e. Norway has been doing this for a while), to create jobs and, these days, green tech along with biotech, rather than just being a vehicle for guaranteeing privatized interests at the expenses of social health, social institutions and stability.
The 92 group, meanwhile, is offering to invest not only in the club but a billion into the local area; again, some of that will be tied to 'luxury experience' real estate development to fund the club and pay dividends to investors (but from associated investments rather than extracting directly from the club's revenues like Glazers), but, managed properly - with fan and political pressure - we can ensure that this investment contributes to further regeneration alongside the jobs its already going to create in a currently stagnant economy. Jim has shown no sign of caring about anything beyond rhetorical signalling/platitudes about 'British' ownership - utterly without material import, without necessarily creating a single additional job even. He's a non-domicile who's happy for polices that have caused spikes in illness and death , including in his home region, to be enacted and carried out, even in the face of outcomes and even as they harm the 'normal' economy eventually, because they suit his bottom line (as well as possibly affirming some narcissistic sense of 'having made it through my own merits', despite benefiting largely from pre-Thatcherite policies around social uplift aimed at working-class youngsters like the young Jim)....
What are you on about!?
